Privacy Policy
We at BHI Advanced Internet take our users'
privacy very seriously. All information obtained from you is
used to provide and/or improve our level of service to you.
We do not rent, sell, or otherwise disclose any information
about you or your account to any third party for direct mail,
solicitation, or telemarketing purposes. All information provided
to BHI is held in the strictest of confidence. In addition,
all necessary measures have been implemented to protect your
personal information to the fullest extent possible.
We regard
customer privacy as one of our most imperative principles
- As such, we want you to know how our customer information
is protected. We do this through numerous ways, including:
(1)
We do not read or monitor your private online communications
including e-mail, instant messaging, and other online communications.
(2) We do not maintain any information about
where you visit or what you do online.
(3) We do not give out
your personal information including address, telephone number,
e-mail names, credit card information, login names, or other
personally identifying information unless you authorize us
to do so or we are required by a court order.
Subpoenas
The purpose of this policy is to let you know that if we
receive a civil subpoena for your personal information
or usage records, we will send you notice of that subpoena
(unless prohibited by doing so by a court order or applicable
law) with sufficient time for you to decide whether you
want to go into court to try to block the subpoena. Please
note that due to the nature and sensitivity of criminal subpoenas
issued by a government agency, we can not offer the same
notice.
1. BHI may be required to disclose information
about you (see above) in response to subpoenas, warrants, court
orders or legal process.
2. If BHI receives a civial
subpoena or other legal process requesting the disclosure
of information about you, we will attempt to notify you before
we respond, unless prohibited from doing so by a court order
or applicable law. Specifically,
1. We will attempt to notify
you 30 days in advance of our response to such a subpoena
or other legal process, or within a deadline set by a court
order or applicable law, if that deadline is shorter than 30
days.
2. We will attempt to notify you of such
a subpoena or other legal process by sending a notice 1) by
electronic mail to the e-mail address that you have provided
to us, and 2) by first-class mail to the postal address you
have provided to us, if any. The notice will include basic
information concerning the subpoena, court order, or legal
process (i.e., name of lawsuit, case number, place of filing,
party issuing subpoena, the court where the subpoena was issued,
contact information, deadline by which we plan to comply with
the process, etc.). Where possible, we will also provide you
with a copy of the subpoena or other legal process by first-class
mail.
3. If we receive a subpoena for your personal
information (such as your usage patterns or your identity),
you may have the legal right to resist or limit the release
of that information in court by filing a motion to quash the
subpoena. You may be able to argue, for example, that disclosure
of the information would violate your rights to free speech
and privacy under the 1st and 4th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
4. We cannot advise you regarding the law
or an appropriate response to a subpoena. Should you wish to
oppose a subpoena or other legal process, you should seek legal
advice concerning applicable rights and procedures that might
be available.
5. If we receive a court-filed motion to
quash or otherwise limit the subpoena from you or your lawyer,
we will not disclose the requested information until we receive
an order from the court to do so.
